Which statement correctly shows the difference between nervous control and hormonal control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nervous control is fast and hormonal control is slow
Nervous control uses electrical impulses along neurons and chemical transmission at synapses, so its response is generally rapid and localised. Hormonal control uses endocrine glands that release hormones into the blood; these reach target tissues more slowly, and their effects often last longer. Thus option A gives the correct broad comparison. The words “always” in option B make it false, and C and D incorrectly restrict both systems.
